牧羊女的誘惑或愛情勝利 by Juan Gris, 1924

Juan Gris, usually known for his sharp geometric Cubist paintings, stepped into the theatrical spotlight to design costumes for the 1924 ballet 'Les Tentations de la Bergère.' This sketch depicts a shepherdess character strutting in voluminous green bloomers and puffy white sleeves, clutching a tall staff topped with a flower bud. The handwritten inscription in the top left, 'Pour la Nijinska,' reveals a sweet personal touch: it was a gift for the legendary dancer and choreographer Bronislava Nijinska from her 'admirer.' It’s a charming glimpse into the collaboration between avant-garde artists and the famous Ballets Russes.
